She Good Fighter (1995)
Dennis Davids is a young, talented and idealistic lawyer in Antwerp, who takes every case at heart, even the pro-deo clients the court assigns for a meager fee. Needless to say he really goes the extra mile, risking his life and his career as his own private detective, in the case of Sandra Van Rompaey, a female kick-boxer who also proves herself as his lover, but is a miserable client, repeatedly violating her probation terms as well as the law.

Takes itself way too seriously
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Good movie but grossly overrated
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
"She Good Fighter" is one of the biggest flops in Belgian film history, which isn't that difficult to understand. It's entirely about two girls who try to stay out of the hands of the police, and here's the problem: two minutes into this movie, you'll already want both of these girls to be hit by a bus. The supporting cast of characters consists mostly of snobs, bureaucrats, frauds and homophobes, but these people all seem pretty nice compared to the main characters. Around halfway the director completely ran out of ideas so he just has everyone running to the police office and back all the time. People get interrogated, leave, get called back for an interrogation, leave again, rewind, play. Incredibly boring. Also the lesbian kiss scene is one of the most desperate attempts to stir up controversy ever captured on celluloid. Wow, lesbians, now I've seen everything. Only good thing about the movie is Gaston Berghmans as the boxing coach, and even that's just to say at least one positive thing. Very weak film.
I saw this movie last night and I really want to say something nice about it because i love my Belgian neighbours to the south, but there is just nothing there. This may very well be the worst movie i have ever seen (and i watch a lot of them). It is based on a true story which wasn't interesting to begin with, the music is completely out of place but the acting takes the cake, it is so awful,so embarrassingly bad! Half way through the movie you don't know whether to laugh or cry, you start wondering....is it secretly a comedy, is it supposed to be this bad, am I missing something, you start questioning your sanity in picking this movie. No it is just a seriously bad movie (for any age) You would get a better movie just taping the school play at your local school.In short; don't waste your money on this, it has cost enough already!
Good movie. A cat and mouse game between youngsters and the police is always fun. The battle between the arrogant rich people and the "honest" normal one's is very entertaining. A good plot and good Belgian actors make the movie complete. The 2 girls Dagmar Liekens and Sophie Winters carry the movie even as Gaston Berchmans in a smaller roll. It's a good combination of humor and thrilling action. Axel Daeseleire is also amusing as a young macho police officer. I don't understand all the negative comments this movie got. My thoughts are maybe those who comment are a bit too old for this movie. This a real good movie for anybody who hasn't already turned let's say thirty-five. There are Belgian movies of a low level but this one is really not of them.
This is an very weak movie. No story; running around between home and the police station, over and over again; dialogues were hollow, and so on. Two good points however: the talent of Gaston Bergmans as boxing instructor and the lovely face (not her acting skills) of Dagmar Liekens. But this is not enough to waste 87 minutes of your time.
